Under the Table

i just stumbled across an email from Phil Jones revealing that he illegally refused FOI requests, asking for CRU's scientific climate data. In the email he claims that he "knows the FOI person and he understands the situation". Jones is of course referring to the denied FOI requests. It seems as though he has made some deals under the table with some important men involved in granting and appealing FOI requests.
To see the original email, check out this link to dailymail, scroll to about half way down the page and you will see a blue box containing this email and some others. One email in this box shows just how childish Jones and his team are acting in response to the FOI requests. Jones says he would rather "delete the file than send it to anyone else", and he also says he will "hide behind the data protection act". Jones is being selfish and childish by refusing to give his data to anyone. He cannot stand to be wrong, so when someone wishes to critique his work he throws a fit and starts destroying the data rather than letting anyone else see it. Seems as though a child is in charge of collecting data for one of the most important scientific and environmental issues of our time. How credible can his theory really be if he has to sneak around and hide things from the public and his peers?

Shady Methods cont'd

Hello again, that darn bell always catches me at the worst times.
Anyway, back to Phil Jones and his pack of scheming followers. Jones and his fellow scientists, if you could call them that, at East Anglia refused to give any other scientists copies of their research on global warming. Scientists such as Steve McIntyre made several requests for the data used at CRU. When Jones and his colleagues refused McIntrye's requests, McIntyre requested the data claiming the Freedom of Information Act (FOI). But, yet again Jones and his cronies refused McIntyre's requests claiming the data used in their research compromised national security and was therefore exempt from the FOI. I ask, "how does global warming data and scientific 'evidence' compromise national security?". Apparently McIntyre wondered the same thing. Jones' answer was vague and nonsensical. He claimed that the data revealed confidential information about military locations in other countries. How could data about the weather compromise confidential locations?! I wager even McIntyre is still scratching his head over that answer.

Shady Methods

Scientists behind the global warming scare have employed very questionable methods of collecting and presenting data to the public; sometimes data is not even shown to the public or other scientists. Basic scientific theory calls for a theory and a critique of that theory by one's peers. By refusing to release data to the public, the scientists at CRU were obviously trying to hide their mistakes from the public. Why exactly were these scientists so adverse to releasing their data to the public? - I mean, for centuries scientists have shared their data with the scientific community, so why should the scientists at East Anglia be exempt? The scientists at CRU believed they could keep their faulty data to themselves, while still convincing the public that global warming is a serious threat. In emails between CRU director, Phil Jones, and his co-workers, it is admitted that data sets were false and needed to be changed. This is absolutely heinous; anyone who reads these emails should be outraged that these scientists have been getting away with these shady methods for so long.

AHhhh! Bell rang bye.

Climate Research Unit of East Anglia University...is a whole lotta bogus

Since November a few names have been floating around the Internet: CRU (Climate Research Unit), University of East Anglia,and Phil Jones. These are all names involved in the recent Climategate scandal. For years the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia has been one of the major scientific bodies providing the data and research supporting global warming. Phil Jones headed CRU at the University of East Anglia. In November of 2009, CRU, UEA, and Phil Jones were involved in a rather nasty scandal referred to as "Climategate". In November of 2009, a series of emails hit the internet; contained in these emails were admissions by scientists, including Phil Jones, of the inaccuracies in data sets supporting the theory of global warming.
I will not post the emails on this blog, but instead I will provide links to sources that present the evidence in an orderly and accurate fashion.
James Delingpole does a particularly good job of explaining the emails and the blogs Watts Up With That provides the unaltered email sets in their entirety. Another blog, Climate Audit, maintained by global warming sceptic scientist Steve McIntyre, gives extensive scientific analysis of the inaccuracies and inconsistencies of pro-global warming data. On "Watts Up With That" there are many good articles and videos, one video "Understanding Climategate: Who's Who- a video" provides a thorough and easy-to follow slide show explaining the various people involved in Climategate.

Why all the hype about global warming?

For the past decade the media has been bombarding the public with its green movement agenda. The media tells us that the earth is heating up because of man's careless lifestyle. Supposedly man is burning too many fossil fuels and releasing too much carbon dioxide gas which is trapping heat in earth's atmosphere. Because of this behavior, the earth will undergo a violent environmental upheaval, equivalent to armageddon. At least, this is what the media and big wig scientists would like us to think.
Why has the environment become the focus of the media over the past decade? The answer is money. Big businesses and prominent political figures can expect huge revenue from cap-and-trade procedures. As one company exceeds its carbon emission limit, it can buy the excess carbon emission permits from a company that did not use up its allotted carbon emission amount. This some companies can continue to "pollute" and claim to be green, while another company can make billions from selling its extra carbon emission permits. Political figures such as Al Gore can also expect to make a killing off of cap-and-trade methods. Al Gore, along with David Blood, will make a whole lotta $$$$ from acting as the middlemen for the cap-and-trade deals between companies. Al Gore has also made money on simply promoting the idea of global warming. Gore has already made a sick amount of money off of his movie An Inconvenient Truth and his book Our Choice. Global warming is profitable. Scientists can feed the public data, telling us we must buy new green appliances and invest in new green companies, and support green candidates for office, without us knowing the difference because we are scientist and we cannot possibly know anything about the environment so we must be led blindly by the savior scientists and government. Yeah right, give me a break, since when has the government been concerned with the good of the world. In theory the government should protect the people, but in reality corruption runs rampant through elected ,or otherwise, offices of the world. So it is odd, that the government is suddenly concerned with saving the world. Of course the obvious answer is that they are not, the government has turned the global warming craze into another source of revenue

Well, that's all I have time for today. I will have another post soon, within the next few class periods. Bye

Want to know where to learn about Climategate?

As I mentioned in my last post, information on Climategate has been kept off the radar, making it difficult to gather good research on the subject. I have gotten most of my research from Telegraph.co.uk in a blog written by journalist and broadcaster James Delingpole. I have also gathered a lot of information from Climate Audit, a website maintained by Steve McIntyre that provides extensive information including articles, essays, graphs, and data reports addressing Climategate. I highly recommend checking out the links I have provided as they will give you a thorough and interesting look at the Global Warming "crisis".

Maybe I should talk about Climategate now...

After much procrastination I have finally decided to discuss Climategate. This particular subject may need some explanation since it has stayed off the main stream media radar. The subject of the Climategate scandal has popped up on the internet in the blogs of concerned citizens. Climategate was featured on Fox News.com in a Scitech op-ed article by Blake Snow. Climategate also appeared in another Fox News.com editorial by John Lott. News station other than Fox have completely ignored the Climategate scandal.
